Mr.. Glitzow drew a contrast between the
methods then and now. In those days the
firemen ran to the scene of operations, drag
ging their machine after them, and dragged
it home again. When they got to fire one
engine would put its suction into the water
supply and pump into another engine through
a long line of hose, and that engine would
pump into another still nearer the fire, and so
on until the water reached the confagration.
Said he: "The competing point was for one
company to pump more water than the other
engine could take That was called flooding
out We'd work till we were hardly able to
stand-aIl for nothing" The veterans have

WASHINGTON CITY, Sept. o.-Congressman
Scott, oil Pennsylvania, returned TO the city
Wednesday from Oak View. When ked
by a reporter of the United Press whether
the tariff and reduction of the revenue had
been discussed by the president and himself,
Secretary Fairebiid and Carlisle, and whether
any bill had been agreed upon, he said that this
subject, a. well as other public matters, had
been talked about. and that while there was
no difference of opinion among the gentle
men present as to the necessity for an early
reduction of the revenues and taxation, no
measure for that purpose had been agreed
upon, and none would be without consulta-
ton with the members belonging to the ma
jority in the house of representatives 1t
was the opinion of all that there ought to be
a very considerable reduction at the earliest
possible date after the meeting of congress,
but the manner in which the reduction should
be made was considered only in a general
way, and no details mere agreed upon.

CooPERsTowN, N Y, Sept Sin the
southern part of Otsego county fierce
cyclone laid waste quite a large territory
Wednesday Dark aud threatening clounds
made their appearance shortly before noon
near Milford They were followed by thunder
and lightning and destructive wind. Com
mencing about two and half miles south of
Milford the tornado passed eastward, making
path about 500 feet wide in which it did
great damage.
1t passed over Cremhorn mountain and
tore down two houses, a school and number
of barns and did considerable damage south
of Worcester and upon South Hill Houses
were carried great distance from their
foundations and some of them badly
wrecked
The school house was completely destroyed,
and not vestige of it has been found Trees
two and three feet in diameter were up
rooted and fences and other structures laid
low.
The telegraph and telephone wires are all
down and it is impossible to obtain more than
the most meagre details. II is reported that
three men were killed on South Hill and that
woman and child were badly injured on
Cremhorn mountain No names could be
learned
1t is possible that the damage is much more
serious than is apparent from reports which
have thus far been received

There has been some talk at intervals
during the past year in regard to the
probable entrance of the Baltimore &
Ohio railroad into the northwest. Only
a week or two ago the gossip broke out
afresh. All such ideas may as well be
dispelled at once. Illinois, Iowa, Wis
consin and Minnesota are overcrowded
with railroads now. There are already
more than there is business for Never
tbeless. so long as Robert Garrett was at
the head of the B. & o., there was al
ways probability that he would endeav,
or to penetrate the great northwest.
That gentleman seems to be foolish
enough for anything. He has been af-
flicted with an itching to become the
great and financial railroad magnate of
the United States, while totalling lacking
in the ability requisite for the role. He
has organized a sleeping car company,
an express company, and telegraph
company, and has spent money like water
in vain attept to reach New York and
secure portion of the traffic of that
great port. The result has been thai he
has nearly ruined the magnificent prop
erty left him by his father. and had he
been permitted to exercise full sway
year OF 50 longer, it is pretty safe to say
that he would have landed his railroad
into bankruptcy The ineffieiency aud
imbecility of his offspring are enough to
cause the elder Garrett to turn in his
grave.
Now, however, Garrett has surrendered
into other hands the control of the great
property which his father built up. A
syndicate of conservative bankers ibss as
sumed the direction of Baltimore s. Ohio
affairs, aud 1t is safe to say that they will
not waste money in endeavoring to cons
pete with such roads as the Northwestern
the st. Paul, the Rock Island, the Illinois
Central and the Burlington & Northern
for the traffic of the northwest. Indeed,
their chief aim is, TO harmonic all differ
ences and remove the B. s. o. rs a dis
turbing factor in the financial world. In
pursuance of these plans, the express and
sleeping car interest of the company have
already been disposed of, and no doubt
the telegraph lines will soon, if they have
not already, fall into the clutches of the
Western Union.
This great deal places all the trunk
lines between the east and west practi-
cally under one management so far as
any clashing of rates is concerned. Will
the change be in the interest of the peo-
pie or otherwise? There is good deal
to be said on both sides of the question.

HALIFAX, N S, Sept S-The schooner
Ethel arrived Wednesday from Grand banks
and reports that Aug. n, during gale she
was struck by wave about fifty feet high,
and the mate, Desire Coates, was washed
overheard ard drowned. The others saved
themselves by climbing into the rigging
when the wave was seen approaching The
vessel was nearly wrecked, but managed to
right itself The sea was like boiling cald-
ron. The gale and waves threatened the de-
struction of the vessel, but by liberal use of
cod oil the effect of the waves was somewhat
avoided. About go gallons Of oil was used,
and the effect was surprising. The Ethel on
her way in saw only four vessels on the
banks, and the men think some of the fishing
fleet may have persisted in the storm

WORCESTER. Mass, Sept S--The convep-
tion of the Prohihitory party in this city
Wednesday was the biggest delegate gather
ing ever held by the party in this state 1t
was composed of S57 delegates, representing
1870 cities and towns. Its proceedings were
animated from first to last by an intense Bit
terness against the Republican party The
sentiment which found expression in the pres
ideDt's address and in several of the speeches
was that if the Prohbitionists could not win
it would be great satisfaction if they could
draw enough votes away from the Republican
party to defeat its candidates. The conven-
ton nominated full ticket as follows: W.
H. Earle, of Worcester, was nominated for
governor; DIR. John Blackmer, of Springfield,
for lieutenant governor; Amos E. Hall, of
Chelsea, for secretary of state; J. H. Kilborn,
of Lee, for state treasurer; E. NJ Stowe, for
for auditor, and Allen Coffin, of Nantucket
for attorney general.
The platform accuses the liquor men of
| bribing legislatures and numbering oppo-
nents; declares against licensing and local
| option; insists on the necessity of third
party; declares that the Democratic party
makes no pretensions in the direction of pro-
hibition, and that the Republican party does
nothing else and, in conclusion, demands the
immediate repeal of all license laws and the
submission of a CONSTITUTIONAL prohibition
amendment TO the people.
